The Pac-12 blog is always, always right … except for those rare times in which it is not.

Here are a few examples of those times.

And yes, it's only Week 3.

Ted Miller: What have I been most wrong about through the first two weeks of the season? Glad my wife isn't fielding this question because she'd make "War and Peace" look like an abridged text listing my transgressions.

Well, for one, I thought Arizona State was going to whip Texas A&M. I was a bit shocked by how the Sun Devils apparently underestimated the Aggies defensive end combination of Myles Garrett and Daeshon Hall, who led a 9-sack attack.

And I was dumbfounded not only that Stanford lost at Northwestern but that the Wildcats looked physically tougher at the line of scrimmage.

But I might be most shocked at the poor effort out of the gate among the lower half of the conference. In the preseason, I viewed the Pac-12 as strong one through 12, with the bottom teams set to be better this fall. My feeling was the Pac-12 would roll through the nonconference schedule, picking up an upset victory or two along the way. So when Colorado, Washington State, Washington and Oregon State all yakked up a poor performance the first two weekends, I was surprised.

Sure, Washington was an underdog at Boise State. But after the game, my general feeling was that if the Huskies had shown any life in the first half, they would have won going away. Same with Oregon State at Michigan. While I didn't expect the Beavers to win, I also didn't expect for them to play dead after the first quarter.

Meanwhile, Colorado lost to Hawaii and Washington State went down to Portland State, an FCS team. Pac-12 teams should never lose to Hawaii or Portland State, though the Cougars deserve credit for getting off the canvas and winning at Rutgers.

The good news, I have my Pac-12 blog friends to help keep tabs on all my wrongness should I for a moment forget it.

Chantel Jennings: I think what I might've been most wrong about was being too cautious about the skill sets of some players.

Covering college football has taught me to be cautiously optimistic about the praise lathered on some of these guys during fall camp. Since most practices are closed, we have to rely on what coaches are telling us and if they say, "Player X came to practice today and was an absolute beast on the offensive line. I love that guy's leverage and heart," I think some might take that as gospel.

But too often, we've gotten out of fall camp only to find out that Player X is the third string tackle … on the defensive line.

So when we heard and saw bits of Josh Rosen's great practices or that Vernon Adams Jr. was picking up the offense really well or that Myles Gaskin and Seth Collins and Cameron Smith and Jake Browning were all playing really well, I pumped the brakes -- as I always do.

Yes, I reasoned, maybe they're looking good, but how good? Is he playing against the first-string offense/defense? Are they putting lots of pressure on this guy? Will it translate to the game field?

We shouldn't crown the Heisman in August. I wait to believe that praise until I see it played out as talent on the field. And for the most part, all of these guys have lived up to a lot of their hype. That doesn't usually happen. And we're only in Week 3, so there's plenty of time for other things to happen or for the level of competition to catch up to some players. But, what I've seen so far from each of those guys has impressed me.

Kyle Bonagura: Headed into the season, I was completely convinced Washington State and Colorado would be significantly better than a season ago. And while I'm still not ready to give up on those possibilities, the early returns haven't matched expectations.

I remember looking at Washington State's schedule at some point in mid-August and thinking a 5-1 start was on the table: sweep nonconference, close win vs. Cal, lose to Oregon and beat Oregon State. Definitely seemed possible. It would have seemed silly to even allow for the possibility that this team, finally with adequate size on the offensive line and in Mike Leach's fourth year, would even play a close game with Portland State — a team the Cougars beat 59-21 last year. And then they lost. It was as deflating a game the program has experienced in a long time. Winning at Rutgers was a nice way to bounce back, but it'll take more than that to make up for the Portland State debacle.

Colorado is similar. I had the Buffs penciled in for 4-0 with this week's game against in-state rival Colorado State serving as the biggest threat. In hindsight, the opening-week loss, played in the middle of the night, should have been easier to see coming, but it doesn't change the fact that the loss represents a huge missed opportunity. I'm still all in on Mike MacIntyre, but Colorado isn't as far a long as I thought they would be.
